Ratings & Social

The social features make islands part of a community rather than isolated plots. Players rate each other's islands, leave notes in guestbooks, and one island gets crowned Island of the Week.

Ratings

CommandWhat it does
/is rateRate the island you are standing on
/is rate <owner>Open the rating screen for a named owner's island
/is rate <owner> <stars>Rate directly, 1 to 5 stars

Ratings give visitors a way to reward great builds and give builders feedback worth chasing. An island's rating is a social signal that sits alongside its level. The /is top board can sort by it too: click the sort tab to cycle Level, Worth, Members and Rating, so the best-built islands get their own leaderboard, not just the richest.

Guestbook

CommandWhat it does
/is guestbookRead your island's guestbook
/is sign <message>Sign the guestbook of the island you are on

Visitors leave a message when they drop by, and the owner reads them later. It is a small thing that makes visiting feel personal and gives people a reason to come back.

Island of the Week

CommandWhat it does
/is iotwShow the current Island of the Week

Island of the Week spotlights a standout island, a rotating bit of recognition that gives builders something to aim for beyond the raw leaderboard.

An island can carry social links, a Discord, store, website or YouTube, shown on its info screen so visitors can find the team behind a build.

CommandWhat it does
/is link <type> [url]Set a link, or clear it with no url
/is linksShow your island's links

URLs must start with http:// or https://. Which link types are accepted is configured server-side; an empty list allows any type:

config.yml
island-links:
  link-types:
    - discord
    - store
    - website
    - youtube
Recognition is retention

Ratings, guestbooks and Island of the Week all do the same quiet job: they make players feel seen. A server where great builds get noticed keeps its builders far longer than one where they do not.
